Figure 1-13. Inserting the Spare Battery
When the battery is inserted, the charging system begins the rapid charge cycle. When this
cycle is completed, the "READY" indicator on the battery status display turns solid green,
and the battery is charged to approximately 95% of its rated capacity. To attain 100% of its
capacity the battery should remain in the charger for 3 hours. A charged battery may be
stored in the charger indefinitely. Upon completion of the charging cycle, the charger
switches to "Maintenance Mode" where it maintains the battery at 100% of its rated
capacity.
